Re: 3/1/2013 Game Thread #59: Pacers Vs. Raptors

However, if the playoffs were about to start today then wouldn't it be the tie breaker that would decide the #2 seed?

The bottom line is we're at the mercy of our total number of losses. From here on out, both teams could win every single remaining game and we would ultimately drop to the 3rd seed because we've lost the "2 extra" games we've played thus far into the schedule. It's customary to err on the side of who has lost the fewer amount of games when it's still undecided mid-season like this.

I get that but if we have the exact same record when the playoffs arive then the next criteria is the tiebreaker, right?
